    Notes: Dowling-Degos' anomaly is characterized by a reticular and spotted pigmentation of the skin folds; this pigmentary disturbance, occurring most often in women, is a dominant inherited genodermatosis which worsens progressively and may exhibit in the early phase rapid changes in severity after emotional stress. In a 9-year-old girl, an electronmicroscopic study of pigmented lesions showed a strong melanocytic activity with quantitative increase of the melanosomes; the average size of the melanosomes was not different when compared to normal Caucasoid skin, but in the keratinocytes they were distributed according to a dispersed pattern as in black skin. The pigmentary state of Dowling-Degos' disease is another example of melanocyte-keratinocyte interaction where the epidermal melanin pattern and the size of pigment granules are not in striking correlation. An accelerated rate of melanogenesis and pigmentation may be another factor determining a non-aggregated distribution of the melanosomes within the keratinocytes. The nature of the stimulus of pigmentation in these skin areas which are not sun-exposed is still unclear.

    Notes: The Schnitzler syndrome is the association of chronic urticaria, intermittent fever, osteosclerotic bone lesions and a monoclonal IgM gammopathy. It is not yet firmly established whether the monoclonal immunoglobulin component plays a part in the pathophysiology of the urticarial lesions. Immunoblotting on epidermal and dermal human skin extracts as well as immunoelectron microscopic (IEM) studies on Lowicryl K4M-embedded skin sections were performed in three patients with the Schnitzler syndrome. Western blotting on epidermal extracts showed the presence of IgM-κ antiskin autoantibodies in two patients. These antibodies displayed the same isotype as the monoclonal components and recognized a 280–290-kDa antigen in one patient and a 200-kDa antigen in the other patient. IEM studies showed sparse IgM deposits in the epidermis, around the keratinocytes, near the desmosomes in one patient and dense deposits below the lamina densa, in the region of the anchoring fibrils, in another patient. Antiskin IgM autoantibodies of the same isotype as their monoclonal gammopathies can be present in the serum of some patients with the Schnitzler syndrome. These IgM antibodies seem to deposit in vivo in the epidermis and at the dermal–epidermal junction, in the region of the anchoring fibrils. These findings suggest that the monoclonal gammopathy plays a part in the pathophysiology of the skin rash. They also suggest patient heterogeneity both in the skin antigens that are recognized as well as in their localization.

    Notes: Summary Cutaneous macroglobulinosis is a rare cutaneous manifestatiou of Waldenstrom's disease. Lesions are thought to result from accumulation of macroglobulin in the dermis and are therefore called IgM storage papules. Ultrastructural findings in the previously reported cases were contradictory and the nature of the deposits was not established by electron microscopy. The purpose of this study was to analyse such deposits by the use of immunoelectron microscopy. A 60-year-old woman had multiple erythemalous papules for 1 year. The histopathological changes consisted of plasmocytic infiltration of the dermis and eosinophiiic deposits. The skin changes and other investigations led to a diagnosis of Waldenstrom's disease. Samples from normal and diseased, skin were analysed by electron microscopy and by immunogold labelling with anti-IgM antibodies, after Lowicryl K4M embedding. An extracellular electron dense granular and filamentous material was observed in the mid- and upper dermis, between and within the collagen bundles. No periodicity was noted and no deposits were seen at the dermoepidermal junction. Immunoelectron mieroscopy showed a positive labelling located only on these deposits, in both normal-appearing skin and in lesions. In this patient, immunoelectron microscopy clearly demonstrated the presence of large amounts of IgM in the dermis, which were found in the lesions of cutaneous macroglobulinosis and in normal skin. These results suggest that the IgM storage papules result from a greater density of deposits rather than a site-specitic accumulation.

    Notes: Background  Although deficiencies in the early components of the complement system were among the first identified genetic risk factors for systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), only a few studies addressed their significance in patients with cutaneous LE (CLE). Among environmental factors, it was postulated that cigarette smoking might intervene in the pathogenesis of LE.Objectives  To describe the clinical and biological features of patients with CLE and a complement deficiency. A secondary objective was to assess cigarette smoking in patients with CLE.Patients and methods  A retrospective study including all patients diagnosed as having LE between 1995 and 2003 in the Dermatology Department of Strasbourg University Hospital. Patient charts were reviewed and those patients in whom a C4 and/or C2 deficiency was diagnosed were included. Two patients with a combined C2/C4 deficiency were analysed in detail.Results  There were 48 females and 37 males (F/M ratio = 1·3), with a mean age of 41 years at diagnosis; 73% of the patients had chronic LE and 27% subacute CLE. Among 32 screened patients, 24 patients with a mean age of 36 years had a complement deficiency; 17 had a C4A deficiency, five a C4B deficiency and two a combined C4A/C2 deficiency. A high proportion (58%) of these patients was male; 82% of the patients were smokers. This was especially true in males: 94% were smokers compared with 69% of females.Conclusions  Partial deficiency of C4, C2 or C4 and C2 is a common finding in patients with CLE. Most male patients with CLE are smokers. It is thus suggested that the combination of cigarette smoking and complement deficiency could be a risk factor for LE in men.

    Notes: Abstract.  The photon asymmetry Σ of the reaction has been measured across the photon energy range 160–410 MeV at the Mainz Microtron MAMI. Linearly polarized photons were obtained from coherent bremsstrahlung and their energies were determined with the Glasgow tagging spectrometer. The large acceptance detector DAPHNE enabled the outgoing protons to be measured over the complete azimuthal range and for polar angles from 35° to 155° in the c.m. system. The data are compared with existing results and recent theoretical calculations.
